Viking Pool Cues and Accessories
Viking Cue began producing equipment in Wisconsin during the early 1960s. Founder Gordon Hart initially made cues in the basement of a poolroom in Stoughton. As demand increased, the company expanded and became a recognized name in American billiards.
Today, Viking builds its primary cue lines at its facility in Middleton, Wisconsin. The company combines traditional woodworking with modern shaft technology and detailed decorative work. As a result, Viking pool cues serve recreational players, league competitors, and experienced tournament players.

Performance Shaft Options
Viking provides wood and carbon-fiber shafts for players who want to adjust their equipment. The ViKORE shaft uses low-deflection wood construction to support more accurate aiming when applying sidespin. It also preserves much of the feel associated with a traditional maple shaft.
The Siege shaft offers carbon-fiber construction with a smooth surface and consistent response. In addition, Whyte Carbon shafts use an interchangeable adapter system. This system allows compatible shafts to work with several common cue joints. Players can therefore change configurations without replacing the complete shaft.
Break, Jump, and Youth Equipment
The product range includes dedicated break cues, jump cues, and combination models. These cues use specialized tips, tapers, and weight distributions. Consequently, they can provide the speed or power needed for specific shots.
The Ragnar Youth Cue System gives younger players equipment suited to their height and reach. Its adaptable design provides a more comfortable option than a standard full-length cue. Furthermore, the system can continue serving players as they grow.
Cases and Accessories
Viking also supplies protective cases, extensions, gloves, joint protectors, and maintenance products. Cases come in several carrying capacities for players who travel with multiple butts and shafts. Extensions provide additional reach without requiring a bridge.
Whether you need a complete playing setup or a replacement shaft, the brand offers many ways to personalize your equipment. Browse our available Viking pool cues and accessories to find products that fit your playing style.
